Name: Peptide deformylase
Synonyms:
  • PDF
  • Polypeptide deformylase
Gene Name: def
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function: Involved in iron ion binding
Specific Function: Removes the formyl group from the N-terminal Met of newly synthesized proteins. Requires at least a dipeptide for an efficient rate of reaction. N-terminal L-methionine is a prerequisite for activity but the enzyme has broad specificity at other positions
